Chantal Elzinga and Dick Valk appointed ‘Member of Merit’ of the NWPCS

During the Central Stallion Show we proudly appointed two volunteers, who have been active as judges within our association for 25 years, as ‘Member of Merit’. Chantal Elzinga and Dick Valk, with their years of dedication, expertise and passion for the pony world, have made an important contribution to the quality and development of our studbook.

Chantal has always been characterized by her caring approach and eye for the unique qualities of the ponies. Dick is known for his thorough knowledge and honest, objective assessments. Together they have kept the standards for our judging high and shaped the future of the studbook.

In recognition of their longstanding commitment and expertise, Chantal Elzinga and Dick Valk were named Member of Merit. The golden Welsh pin was pinned on them for this purpose. We thank them warmly for their undeniable contribution to our organization and hope that they will be part of the jury corps for many years to come.
